Because of indifference, one dies before one actually dies.

I may be a descendant of Seth. I say to myself, What does [the story of Cain and Abel] teach me? So I go back to all the interpretations in the Talmud, which to me are a source of pleasure and joy. Then I say, maybe this story is not for then; maybe it's for now! It's possible for brothers to kill one another in civil wars. But most important, whoever kills, kills his brother. That's a moral conclusion that may not be there; but that must be my conclusion. Otherwise, why read it? Whoever kills, kills his brother.

To forget a Holocaust is to kill twice

[ Rabbi Shlomo ben Isaac] was the greatest commentator [of the Bible] we ever had.

An indifference to suffering makes humans inhuman

There is one right I would not grant anyone. And that is the right to be indifferent.

I am much more afraid of my good deeds that please me than of my bad deeds that repel me.
